| 説明 | Iglesia Santa Barbara de Santa Rosalia Disenada en 1884 por Gustave Eiffel construida en 1887 Expuesta en Paris en 1889 junto con La Torre Eiffel, Estuyo en Bruselas Belgiga desarmaga, y se traslado a Santa Rosalia Instalandose de 1896 a 1897 Dig. 1887"A novelty in Baja—or anywhere, for that matter—is this prefabricated, iron-walled church designed by famous French architect Alexandre Gustave Eiffel in 1884.Eiffel, who earned his reputation by designing locks for the Panama Canal and the frame for the United States’s Statue of Liberty, originally constructed this church in France in 1887; it was intended as a prototype for missionary churches built to withstand the climate in France’s equatorial colonies. Two years later it was exhibited in Paris, together with the Eiffel Tower, at the 1889 Paris World Exposition. Eiffel took first prize for the church’s modular, tropics-proof design.When a French official at Compañía El Boleo later heard the church had been warehoused in Brussels, he purchased it and had it shipped in sections to Santa Rosalía, where it was reassembled in 1897. The exterior is modern, even minimalist, in tone, while the interior resembles that of any Catholic church. Except for two side wings added locally, the entire structure is made of galvanized iron. The church is still very much in use, with an Italian priest in residence."www.moon.com/destinations/baja-cabo/central-baja/santa-ro... |
